SB Thoughts:

1:22 have you heard of tinder?

1:31 ..was this shot really necessary?

1:41 time to eat pills and drink my fruit punch

1:49 uh you dropped your fruit punch

1:55 – 2:11 now it’s getting everywhere

2:34 sometimes we all dream we killed ourselves, witch Melania

3:02 “I wish I was married to this stuffed dog, but instead I’m married to Donald Trump”

3:23 “this is where I would put my baby……………….”

3:35 what is a cyclops doing in that baby bedroom?

3:43 ugh you have terrible taste in coffee

4:29 – 4:52 so glad we got this car footage in the film

5:05 time to buy cat food for that cat that didn’t exist in my home

5:30 totally forget the cat food

5:38 hahah what

6:18 you think you can just go out and buy cat food dead on black-sheet’d-ghost-in-your-hallway’s watch?!?! THINK AGAIN.

6:28 someone turned your nice stuffed dog into a dirty white eyed porcelain doll

6:34 and glued others to your ceiling

6:36 also, hands?

6:50 someone get this woman an emmy

7:17 what is it, witch Melania? speak.

7:28 ah yeah, about that..

7:44 don’t you hate it when your living room floor turns into a sand fire pit, black smoke seeps from under your basement door, the rubberman from AHS crawls your walls, and your front door is unleave-able?

8:10 just what this short needed –a drone.

Lesson: When all else fails, bring in the drone footage.

SB Thoughts:

1:17 “mansplaining, the person” must have called her on the phone.

1:50 pills, pills, PILLS, PILLS, PILLSPILLS!!

1:58 you ARE right.

2:24 “whatchu think I am – A SLAVE??”

3:35 but FOR REAL, I want to own that dress.

5:15 who’s wearing high heels? – am I wearing high heels? — do mannequins wear high heels? — is she wearing high heels?? —- is that why she can’t run???

5:57 ..funny seeing you here..

6:18 is this about to be a porno??

7:08 that was way more then just two hands clapping.

8:00 I have to admit, I liked it. Clever use of camera angle, lighting, and spook.
